‘Success is living your life the way you want to.’- Ann Kaplan

Success is having the courage to live your life the way you want to express it. If you do not have the courage to chase your dreams, you are not going to be able to live a happy life.

And to get everything you want in your life, you have got to go after your dreams.

‘You are not the victim of circumstances, but the creator of opportunity.’- Ann Kaplan

To get everything you want in your life, you must take full responsibility for your life. Do not blame anyone for your life. Instead of blaming others, why not look for an opportunity to express who you are? Remember, you are not a victim; you are a victor. If you don’t have an opportunity to bring out the best in yourself, then create one for yourself. Is it going to be easy? No, but you can do it.

‘If you believe you have the power to find success, if you believe that by taking calculated steps you will be able to achieve the change you want, that the efforts put in today will enable the change tomorrow, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.’- Ann Kaplan

Whatever you want to achieve in your life, it comes with a price. To win, you must do the work. You must get your hands dirty, really dirty. You must take charge of your life. Remember, you can’t rush success. It takes time to get great things done. If you want to be successful, you must believe that success is possible.

‘If you accept that we all live in our own reality, then you can also accept that you are in control of your reality, that you determine your unique perspective on life and how you live it, and that how you spend every moment is a choice.’- Ann Kaplan

Remember, how you spend your day is how you live your life. If you are not happy with your current reality, then do something about it. Do not complain about your reality. If it is not what you want for yourself, you can change it. You do that by paying attention to your ‘thoughts habits’.

Do not do what other people are doing. If you do, you are living their lives, not yours. And to live your own life, to live as your true self, you must ‘take control of the path you are on.’

‘When you learn to control and direct your mind, distancing yourself from negative thoughts, you can teach that inner monologue to work for you, not against you.’- Ann Kaplan

What are you telling yourself? How do you see yourself? Do you think you can achieve greatness?

When it comes to your success, if you want to get it, to get everything you want, you must position your mind for greatness.

To do that, according to Ann Kaplan, ‘We must become aware of when we are falling into these negative patterns and what triggers them in the first place, so we can replace these faulty lines of logic with more positive patterns of thought.’

If you want to live a positive life, you must fill your mind with positive thoughts.

Pleasing Other People Is Not Going To Take You To Where You Want To Be

If you do not want to be disappointed in your life, do not please other people. The reason is that you can never make everybody happy. There are some who will never agree with you, no matter who you are. They don’t care. And there are those who want more than you can give them.

So what are you going to do? Are you going to make them happy? Or are you going to focus on what you are doing, where you are, why you are here, and where you are going? Are you going to focus on your life? What are you going to do to make yourself happy? Remember, happiness is important to all of us. And that is why we are here.

If you are not happy with your life, with your work, do not blame it on anyone. Instead of blaming other people, why not take full responsibility for your life, for where you are, and for where you want to be? Blaming other people won’t help you get better. The only thing it can do for you is to keep you where you are. Why? It takes your eyes off your development.

You can change your life. To do that, you must surround yourself with other happy people. And you must do what other happy people are doing. Why? Because hanging out with them is not enough to chnage your life. If you want anything to change, you must get to work. You must apply yourself. Period. You must face your own life. And you must stay away from people who are toxic, people who can poison your mind.

Do not follow negative people. Do not follow people who are just drifting through life, who are not going anywhere, who are not thinking the right thoughts, who are not building their lives. If you don’t want to be like them, you must avoid them. You must make your decision to separate yourself from them. And you must take your life more seriously. If you don’t, you are not going to achieve your greatness.

If you will separate yourself from negative people, you will achieve your greatness. You will make your life a masterpiece, not a mess. You can change your life, but not overnight. To change your life, you must feed your mind with positive thoughts, learn something that has the power to help you grow, something that has the power to move you closer to where you want to be.

That is life. Life is all about going, moving, changing. If you are not growing, it means you are doing something that you shouldn’t be doing. Everything is within your reach. The more you fight for what you want, the closer you are to getting it.

Is it going to be easy? No. It is not going to be easy. But you can do it. If you don’t do it, no one is going to do it for you. Why not start now, with what you have?
